Statement: As your representative, I will work with the newly elected Congress and Governor to change the tide of the excessive government regulations and restore a sense of government accountability to its citizens and businesses. We need to address our budget in a financially responsible manner. This should be accomplished without stifling the local economy with burdensome regulations and taxation which results in limited economic growth and reduced job opportunities. Our state agencies need restraints from implementing laws which reduce the rights of its citizens, property owners and businesses.
